    coupe to fastback conversions... thoughts?

    I remember seeing a coupe/fastback conversion "joke" on this website about a year ago. They kept the coupe quarter windows and just extended the roof line out the back and called it a shelby clone. Looked bad, but the body frame was likely ok. Funny part was, it was for sale on that site...

    what do we got here??

    From my understanding, the grandas were never worth much. As for it being a plain Jane coupe. It depends. You say "restorable condition" which means? (No battery, not running, hasn't been running in a long time?) Was it stored outside (every freeze plug shot)? You say at lease some...

    what do we got here??

    I am pretty sure that if you wanted it, the dealership was willing to install just about any option (or did install it to make it look better). If you turn on the fog lamps, do the tail lights turn on? (Factory, they turn on, dealer, they don't)

    66 GT Coupe Engine block casting

    I believe the build stamps/casting on the engine block didn't start until '67 EXCEPT for K codes/shellbys.

    Need some help

    I am confused, maybe because my pony has a 4 speed manual, but how does down shifting in an auto cause a different light to come on, much less expose a short?

    WHAT'S NEEDED FOR COUPE TO FASTBACK CONVERSION?

    First, if you really want to, go ahead and have fun. Second, on that website, those fastback lines just don't look right. The quarters and roof lines just don't match like they should. So, unless you have a fastback right next to it to compare, I think you will need a very complete...

    Renting a car hoist???????

    Stupid questions are always better asked and answered before you put money down on them. (Then you don't feel as stupid at then end!) I feel the same way about painting booths, wished they rented those out too. I would guess it is a liability problem, you lift your car and it falls on...

    65 289 A-code (Cam and Valvetrain) Questions

    I vote for the save the A-code engine. They are rarer and rarer as more get moded. Just buy a used c-code (or whatever you can find) and mod that, possibly evening making it look stock. Think of it this way, you can beat your extra mod-ed motor to snot and if you blow it up, you don't...

    Renting a car hoist???????

    Sorry... no pics on the web from my searching... think of a scissors lift (so it is completely under the car like a normal lift), but instead it has one ram that swings the lift part forward as it raises. P.S. I do not know if they still carry it or if it truly was offered to anyone (aka...

    Renting a car hoist???????

    Since you are asking about renting a car hoist, I have to ask, what do you think one would cost to rent? About ~5 years ago my brother bought a "mobile" car hoist from car quest (not the cheapest place in town but he knew a guy and I think also got employee pricing) for around $1200 for my...

    Engine Tag decode: engine code no.

    Thanks, I found an online "preview" here Ford Parts Interchange Manual - Google Book Search It included the 289 stuff, and all it really says is 4brl and calls it a D code instead of an A code. Is the book worth buying? If so, I may pickup a copy.

    Engine Tag decode: engine code no.

    On those little tags on intake manifold, the last block is the engine code no. What does this block mean? My book has 343-A and says it "Determines if parts are peculiar to a specific engine." My tag (from a 289 comet) has 577-J Another one online was 551-8 (or maybe 551-B, also a...

    Had a problem at the track last night, need advice

    My stang has clutch sticking problems with the headers a previous owner installed. So, check your headers and clutch linkage for signs of rubbing to determine if this is the problem.

    Feller for a product, Traction Device

    First, don't tell them they are wrong. Everyone hates to be wrong. Just tell them how your product is better. But, you also have to be careful that you both are solving all of the same problems too. If you are solving problems A and B and they are solving B and C, then things get a...

    1965 mustang 427 side oiler swap

    D.Hearne is right. The 67 is 2 inches wider. I guess it just means that Ford engineers cheaped out to use the same radiator support and found the 2 inches of width in the towers. (This doesn't supprise me about Ford.) You have to look at the swap this way: -Wow factor -Cause I want a...

    Feller for a product, Traction Device

    Finally, the truth comes out!!! :D Ok, I have been on the receiving end of critism from D. Hearne before and while it isn't fun, you have to have the critics around. They will point out your flaws and oversights. With any luck, you can fix those problems when they are still cheap and easy...
